Supersized hanging basket ...

This isn't ours/mine! I was on my way to the pool (Macmillan Cancer Support fundraising challenge ...) and had to pull in to our near neighbour's house. This is outrageously humongous and gorgeous.  The rest of the front garden is equally amazing (see extra).

On the swimming side ... I was chuffed to bits to do a personal best ... 2 miles in one (slightly slow) session. Just 1 more mile (in the morning) and I will have swum the channel (bit by bit). Amazing charity and amazed myself ... I know I'm not quite 'done' yet!
